"Remarkably Unremarkable": Goldman Sees 2.8% Growth In 2027... And Every Major Risk Pointing Down

"Remarkably unremarkable."

That is how Goldman's economists sum up 2026: a year in which a war in Iran sent Brent above $100, global headline inflation is on course to finish at 3.7% (1.3pp above what the bank forecast a year ago), and the global economy... still grew 2.7%, in line with potential and just 0.1pp below Goldman's projection from last November.
